Forward Oskar Sundqvist has been out of the Blues lineup since September 30, when he was taken out by an illegal hit from the Capitals’ Tom Wilson. Sundqvist suffered a shoulder injury, a concussion, and facial laceration, and was put on injured reserve.

Wednesday morning, Blues head coach Mike Yeo said that Sundqvist has been cleared to play.

And Yeo confirms that Sundqvist is ready to go and will be available Thurs.

It’s unclear if Sundqvist will play now that he is eligible, as the Blues have a full roster and a glut of other bottom-six forwards available. Forwards Robby Fabbri and Nikita Soshnikov were recently sent down to the to the Blues’ AHL affiliate, the San Antonio Rampage, for conditioning following injuries.

Sundqvist could make his return as early as Thursday, when the Blues face the Columbus Blue Jackets on home ice. If he is a scratch, at least he will be a healthy one.
